shorten long class names?

[lumpynose]

In the following, is there some way to shorten the full class path of the class, the edu.berkeley.peoplelocator.api.directory.dto.IDire ctoryInfo?. It's the return type of the method. If I use just IDirectoryInfo it blows up complaining about not an exact match.

@Component
@Aspect
public class LdapSearchCache {
    private final transient Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass());

    @Pointcut("execution(edu.berkeley.peoplelocator.api.directory.dto.IDirectoryInfo LdapSearch.findByUid(String))")
    private void findByUid() {
        // empty
    }
...

You already pointed complete class and method signatures, so it is possible simply to change return type definition to the *.

Thanks, I was thinking of someone else adding a method with overloading but I don't think you can overload by changing only the return type.
